[Wikimediaindia-l] FOSS and Wikipedia

[Praveen Prakash]

FOSS and wikimedia project have some similarities but they are
different projects. Wikimedians are not a subgroup of FOSS followers,
infact most of them living outside ideal FOSS world (I use free
softwares, but i don't like FOSS extremism, many others using non-free
softwares). I don't think there is any possibility to impose any POV
to wikimedians in the name of FOSS if there is a good wikimedia
community. That is not very hard, since the people with particular aim
rarely contribute outside mailing list or talk page.
